Teach Our Voice!

In an effort to better understand the powers and rights WE, THE PEOPLE have as citizens and voters in this country, we present to you this ever-expanding collection of videos and tutorials that explain

governmental and political concepts.

Find out how YOU can use YOUR VOICE along with OUR VOICE to get good work done

in our communities and the Nation at large!

To start things off, the following

video “Rules For Rulers”,

simplifies the conceptual

differences between countries as it pertains to those who rule over the citizens.

It is important to consider that

even here in the good ‘ol US of A, we, too are ruled..but the idea is

that it is by our express consent

within the guidelines we call

Constitutions both as individual States and as a Nation

The history of Social Security

Cards is quite fascinating…

considering the idea that we

now use these personal numbers for identification purposes they were never designed to provide. Perhaps we should call them,

“Not-So-Socially-Secure Cards.”

Maybe it would be wise to elect

representatives who are

interested in fixing these issues

rather than patching them and hoping for the best. Let’s watch!

Ever wonder why the Debt Limit becomes a matter of

Congressional political debate

every few months? Ever wonder

why the President, no matter

who it may be, cannot seem to

keep our taxing and spending

habits under control and

balanced? The answer can, oddly enough, be compared to a

“[Figurative] Domestic Financial Hostage Situation!” Congress

causes it. Congress can fix it.

The fault falls squarely on the President’s shoulders.

More confused now?

This video will straighten it all

out for you… but you won’t be

happy in the end.

One issue that must be fixed by

the States and can only be fixed

by voting for honest legislators in our individual States is

Gerrymandering. This verb was

coined in 1812 to describe the

same thing it describes today:

Cheating. It comes from the

name of a Massachusetts

Governor, Elbridge Gerry and a

type of lizard, the salamander.

Gov. Gerry was trying to maintain a majority of Anti-federalists in

his state. One sprawling district

resembled a salamander, and a

newspaper editor dubbed it the

Gerrymander as they lampooned the actions taken by the

Governor.

Many citizens are still shocked

and angered by the way our now not-so-recent presidential

election turned out in 2016. This

was not the first time the

technically least popular

candidate won the race. This is,

however, a problem that could

easily be fixed, though the

process to do so is quite

complicated. If you check out the Speak Our Voice blog, you will

find a great article that tackles

the 12th amendment concerning the Electoral College. The

following video also shares a

solution in the form of an

alternative method to our

current (and quite flawed) first-

past-the-post election method.

Now that we understand a little

of what the National Debt is all

about.. we can dive into the

shallow, yet complicated waters

of Debt Crisis and what it may

mean for 2018. Ever ask yourself,

“Self… whats up with all the

borrowing money from other

countries and selling bonds to

China?” whelp, here is part of the answer you can share with…

yourself…and everyone else you

care about who will listed!!

Ever see a social media post

where someone s complaining

that a world superpower is

infringing on another

population’s SOVEREIGNTY?

Mr. D an his buddy Mr. Rose

explain what Sovereignty really means as it pertains to States…

not a State, but… a State State…

just watch and you’ll see what

we mean!!

SHAAAAARK!! Just kidding! But

hey, anyone out there remember Richard Dreyfuss? He was in

Jaws among other great movies. That fame isn’t the point of this

clip, however, it is the reason he

was allowed a chance to speak

on a Main Stream Media

broadcast (of ill repute.) Dreyfuss is also a Constitutional law and

Civics scholar. He was on this

news-ish segment to express the importance of civics and to

lament it’s demise as a required course in public schools these

days. Many readers may loath the idea of anything worth knowing or hearing coming from Fox

performed in Oakland, CA and other cities around the globe. Supporters of this concept agree that it would be cheaper than our existing social safety net system.

How often do you hear or read

about the infamous wealth gap

in these United States? Now,

more than ever, people who are NOT named Sanders are

standing up and explaining this grossly misunderstood problem with the way we have been

manipulating our economic

system to skew things in one

direction rather than work to try

and keep an equilibrium… a balance.

The following sums up our

hiccup pretty succinctly.

Citizens United Vs. FEC was a

landmark decision in

the Supreme Court that granted, 5-4, the ability of For-Profit

Corporations to have the same 1st Amendment rights as citizens…

because they’re [unnatural]

persons and deserve it. Since the 2010 decision, well… you saw

what happened… But what can we do? How did we get here?

How can we move forward?

Why does this lady keep calling

our democratic republic a

Democracy? (Just kidding- its for

simplification.. get over it, y’all!)

When people start discussing the large numbers of ballots in multiple precincts being disqualified in local and even national elections, it is natural to begin weaving stories about corruption and sabotage. Though it has been proven that people have cheated for their favorite party or candidate(s) throughout history, there are other reasons for this phenomenon that lay outside the realm of treachery.

Patriotism comes in many forms. There is nothing wrong with loving your country and that, for which it stands. It is NOT a cool thing to suggest that your country is somehow superior to another based on wealth or international militarized hegemony and supremacy. Our National Anthem is about watching war out of one’s window. Let that marinate as you listen to this tune. It is, in fact, possible to love one’s country and be #AntiWar

The following is a pretty long (30 min +) video. Please don’t let that deter you from learning what to do and not to do when you encounter the police in public.

This is possibly the most important video to watch in this series. It could mean the difference between walking/driving away free, and getting hauled away to jail – or worse.

These are techniques to allow YOU to exercise YOUR rights. Never get tricked into waiving your rights. Police are allowed to legally lie to you.

Never forget.

The rights of women to control what happens to their bodies is the controversy of the moment. What could serve as a better example of how mass protest and the collective exercising of civil rights can influence the decisions of our elected representatives and law making officials? Demonstrations can turn the tide on many major decisions determined by a legislative body’s vote. No matter your view on the issue of the government’s right to regulate a person’s bodily functions, you can certainly see how a major issue can motivate people to collaborate and demonstrate solidarity for a cause – and make a change in the process. As long as there is a concentration of power, there will be those who choose to fight against it. Nothing can re-write THAT natural law.
